Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders of the state Legislature unveiled a plan Wednesday to raise $52.4 billion over the next decade to pay for a massive program of rebuilding California's highways and bridges and improving public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would be paid for with a combination of revenue measures: an increase in the state's excise tax on gasoline from 28 cents to 40 cents a gallon, increased vehicle registration fees and a new $100 annual charge on emission-free vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be clear -- our roads suck,\" said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Los Angeles Democrat, one of those who unveiled the plan during a media event on the steps of the State Capitol. \"Our bridges are crumbling. Traffic takes time away from our families. ... Potholes take money out of our wallets. Delays cost businesses money and raise prices for consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was embraced by public transportation agencies, who noted that it could provide about $1 billion a year for local and regional transit agencies and $100 million annually for bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure. That infusion of dollars would come as the Trump administration is suggesting \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/16/trump-transportation-plan-could-derail-bay-area-transit-projects/\" target=\"_blank\">killing a major federal grant program\u003c/a> for transit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That guarantee of new transit funding \"would have a huge impact,\" said Rebecca Saltzman, president of the BART board of directors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Especially with the uncertainty of federal funds, this would be big for BART and all the transit agencies in the state,\" Saltzman said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new state proposal, still under development as SB 1 by state Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, could also help pay for Caltrain's $2 billion electrification project. The Peninsula rail agency is awaiting word on whether the Trump administration will move forward with a $647 million grant that the U.S. Department of Transportation had approved in January, just days before President Barack Obama left office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and a member of the California Transportation Commission, said Beall's proposal would include funding for relieving congestion in \"corridors of significance\" throughout the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of those corridors of significance is Highway 101,\" Guardino said. \"That's not only road improvements on Highway 101, it is improvements like Caltrain electrification. We can't forget that three out of every five passengers on Caltrain are choice riders -- they own cars, but they're choosing to get out of their own cars and ride Caltrain, taking traffic off 101, 280 and all those surface streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>State Transportation and Infrastructure Plan: Some Fine Print\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The plan unveiled Wednesday by Gov.

Jerry Brown\u003c/a>\u003c/small>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Brown argued during Wednesday's announcement that the revenue plan, to be backed up by a state constitutional amendment that would require proceeds from revenue measures to be spent on transportation projects, would ensure that the state takes care of its infrastructure needs on a pay-as-you-go basis. Backers say the plan would cost most drivers less than $10 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would require a two-thirds vote in both the Assembly and Senate. That's a goal that's within reach for Democrats, who hold supermajorities in both houses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the proposal, coming after years of party-line disagreement over how much the state ought to spend to pay for its estimated $59 billion in deferred highway infrastructure maintenance and how the investment should be paid for, drew an immediate \"no\" vote from Republicans in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they have throughout years of negotiations, GOP legislators said that California drivers are paying high gasoline taxes and that the state brings in enough revenue to pay for needed infrastructure fixes and upgrades without increasing levies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our state has become increasingly unaffordable for ordinary Californians,\" a joint statement from GOP lawmakers said. \"We can fix our roads and bridges by simply ensuring that the billions of dollars that drivers are already paying in transportation fees and taxes are actually used for transportation purposes, rather than being swept into the state’s general fund. We strongly urge the Legislature to reject this historic tax hike in favor of our responsible plan that fixes our roads without raising taxes and fees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's gasoline taxes -- which in addition to the current 27.8 cent per gallon excise tax, 2.25 percent state sales tax and an 18.4 cent per gallon federal excise tax -- currently total 56.53 cents per gallon. That's the fifth-highest rate in the country, after Pennsylvania, New York, Washington state and Michigan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, part of the pinch on the state's transportation finances is due to \u003ca href=\"https://www.boe.ca.gov/sutax/strf.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a large decline\u003c/a> in the state excise tax -- from 39.5 cents in 2013-14 to the current 27.8 cents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown dismissed criticism of the revenue plan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only objection is political,\" he said. \"And I think that political objection is pretty weak.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said \"the vast majority\" of the $52 billion raised in the plan would go to existing facilities -- and he compared the situation to that of a homeowner. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What do I say to someone whose roof is leaking?\" Brown asked. \"Just let it ruin the rug? Let it ruin your nice chairs? No! You gotta fix it. This is life. As grown-ups, we know that things we build wear out and you gotta fix 'em.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another potential voice of opposition came from progressive transportation advocacy group TransForm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Stark, the group's state policy director, said he was troubled by reports that the final bill will exempt trucks from \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2013/11/19/air-pollution-standards-mean-truckers-must-retrofit-or-upgrade-soon/\" target=\"_blank\">clean-air regulations\u003c/a> passed by the California Air Resources Board. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those rules were passed largely to reduce particulate pollution from diesel engines near the state's biggest ports -- a form of air pollution that is linked to high rates of asthma and other respiratory and circulatory diseases in nearby communities, like West Oakland. The industry has said complying with the rules is prohibitively expensive for many individual operators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is generally a very good package,\" Stark said. \"As an organization committed to sustainable, equitable transportation policy, it's heartening to see senior leadership take up the mantle.\" But he called the reported trucking exemption \"very concerning\" and said TransForm would stand with community groups that have fought for the air rules. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders of the state Legislature unveiled a plan Wednesday to raise $52.4 billion over the next decade to pay for a massive program of rebuilding California's highways and bridges and improving public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would be paid for with a combination of revenue measures: an increase in the state's excise tax on gasoline from 28 cents to 40 cents a gallon, increased vehicle registration fees and a new $100 annual charge on emission-free vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be clear -- our roads suck,\" said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Los Angeles Democrat, one of those who unveiled the plan during a media event on the steps of the State Capitol. \"Our bridges are crumbling. Traffic takes time away from our families. ... Potholes take money out of our wallets. Delays cost businesses money and raise prices for consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was embraced by public transportation agencies, who noted that it could provide about $1 billion a year for local and regional transit agencies and $100 million annually for bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure. That infusion of dollars would come as the Trump administration is suggesting \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/16/trump-transportation-plan-could-derail-bay-area-transit-projects/\" target=\"_blank\">killing a major federal grant program\u003c/a> for transit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jim Beall, D-San Jose, could also help pay for Caltrain's $2 billion electrification project.

We can't forget that three out of every five passengers on Caltrain are choice riders -- they own cars, but they're choosing to get out of their own cars and ride Caltrain, taking traffic off 101, 280 and all those surface streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>State Transportation and Infrastructure Plan: Some Fine Print\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The plan unveiled Wednesday by Gov.

Jerry Brown\u003c/a>\u003c/small>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Brown argued during Wednesday's announcement that the revenue plan, to be backed up by a state constitutional amendment that would require proceeds from revenue measures to be spent on transportation projects, would ensure that the state takes care of its infrastructure needs on a pay-as-you-go basis. Backers say the plan would cost most drivers less than $10 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would require a two-thirds vote in both the Assembly and Senate. That's a goal that's within reach for Democrats, who hold supermajorities in both houses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the proposal, coming after years of party-line disagreement over how much the state ought to spend to pay for its estimated $59 billion in deferred highway infrastructure maintenance and how the investment should be paid for, drew an immediate \"no\" vote from Republicans in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they have throughout years of negotiations, GOP legislators said that California drivers are paying high gasoline taxes and that the state brings in enough revenue to pay for needed infrastructure fixes and upgrades without increasing levies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our state has become increasingly unaffordable for ordinary Californians,\" a joint statement from GOP lawmakers said. \"We can fix our roads and bridges by simply ensuring that the billions of dollars that drivers are already paying in transportation fees and taxes are actually used for transportation purposes, rather than being swept into the state’s general fund. We strongly urge the Legislature to reject this historic tax hike in favor of our responsible plan that fixes our roads without raising taxes and fees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's gasoline taxes -- which in addition to the current 27.8 cent per gallon excise tax, 2.25 percent state sales tax and an 18.4 cent per gallon federal excise tax -- currently total 56.53 cents per gallon. That's the fifth-highest rate in the country, after Pennsylvania, New York, Washington state and Michigan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, part of the pinch on the state's transportation finances is due to \u003ca href=\"https://www.boe.ca.gov/sutax/strf.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a large decline\u003c/a> in the state excise tax -- from 39.5 cents in 2013-14 to the current 27.8 cents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown dismissed criticism of the revenue plan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only objection is political,\" he said. \"And I think that political objection is pretty weak.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said \"the vast majority\" of the $52 billion raised in the plan would go to existing facilities -- and he compared the situation to that of a homeowner. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What do I say to someone whose roof is leaking?\" Brown asked. \"Just let it ruin the rug? Let it ruin your nice chairs? No! You gotta fix it. This is life. As grown-ups, we know that things we build wear out and you gotta fix 'em.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another potential voice of opposition came from progressive transportation advocacy group TransForm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Stark, the group's state policy director, said he was troubled by reports that the final bill will exempt trucks from \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2013/11/19/air-pollution-standards-mean-truckers-must-retrofit-or-upgrade-soon/\" target=\"_blank\">clean-air regulations\u003c/a> passed by the California Air Resources Board. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those rules were passed largely to reduce particulate pollution from diesel engines near the state's biggest ports -- a form of air pollution that is linked to high rates of asthma and other respiratory and circulatory diseases in nearby communities, like West Oakland. The industry has said complying with the rules is prohibitively expensive for many individual operators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Visitors have been blocked from reaching part of the community known for its luxury spas, posh hotels and scenic retreats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Mayer, the bridge closure means a six-hour, round-trip route several times a week to buy goods to stock the shelves. He also had to temporarily lay off 11 of his 16 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he's keeping his doors open for locals who need produce, milk and propane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They support me all year long, and I appreciate it,\" Mayer said. \"In the bad times, you've got to try to come through for the people who come through for you all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damaged Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge sits on an active landslide, which pushed out one of two columns holding it up.

A large section of the bridge was demolished on March 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nbcbayarea/status/843545203629875200\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susana Cruz, a spokeswoman for Caltrans, said construction is expected to cost about $20 million and take six to nine months — too long for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We as a community simply will not survive in any way that is recognizable without a timely rebuild of that bridge,\" said Big Sur Chamber of Commerce President Kirk Gafill, owner of the historic Nepenthe Restaurant, which has been serving Big Sur since 1949. The area also is without law enforcement and public services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gafill said Caltrans needs to prioritize the bridge replacement over other projects, or some businesses may go under. He had hoped for a different bridge design that could be built more quickly, but Cruz said the work is being expedited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridge closure also has affected Gafill personally. His wife and 14-year-old son have moved to a friend's condominium in Monterey to keep the boy in high school, creating chaos for the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are constantly packing and unpacking,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11369833\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11369833\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-800x563.jpg\" alt=\"Kirk Gafill, owner of the historic Nepenthe Restaurant, says they're using the unexpected closure to refinish the wood and update the restaurant.\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-800x563.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-1020x717.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-1180x830.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-960x675.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-240x169.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-375x264.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/NepentheRestaurant-520x366.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kirk Gafill, owner of the historic Nepenthe Restaurant, says they're using the unexpected closure to refinish the wood and update the restaurant. \u003ccite>(jongela19/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>East of the bridge, a 2-foot-wide trail is under construction to allow people who live south of the damaged span to bypass it by walking about 30 minutes each way through steep terrain.

Visitors have been blocked from reaching part of the community known for its luxury spas, posh hotels and scenic retreats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Mayer, the bridge closure means a six-hour, round-trip route several times a week to buy goods to stock the shelves. He also had to temporarily lay off 11 of his 16 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he's keeping his doors open for locals who need produce, milk and propane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They support me all year long, and I appreciate it,\" Mayer said. \"In the bad times, you've got to try to come through for the people who come through for you all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:50 a.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> The Caltrans contractor hired to knock down the once-unnoticed, now-troublesome Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur has run into a problem: Its wrecking ball was not up to the job of demolishing the span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The take-down project began Monday. The Monterey Herald's Tommy Wright \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereyherald.com/general-news/20170313/wrecking-ball-problems-cause-pfeiffer-canyon-bridge-demolition-delay\" target=\"_blank\">has the details\u003c/a> on what didn't happen and why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The contractors tasked with the demolition had trouble getting the crane’s free-fall function operating properly as they tried to slam the wrecking ball into the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crane, in its current configuration, will not free fall the wrecking ball with the required force needed,” said Susana Cruz, a Caltrans spokeswoman, in an email. “New parts have been ordered and should arrive (Tuesday).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Work could resume on the demolition as soon as Wednesday morning, depending on the delivery and assembly of the new parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Galarza, Caltrans’ structure representative for the project, said crews disconnected the bridge’s metal railing in preparation for the demolition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything’s in place for it to go, but some of these new cranes have a lot of different safety features on them and they’re all computerized,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galarza said the crew has specific locations identified where they can expose the primary reinforcement and cut it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That should assist with the bridge dropping in a location we want it to,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as crews work out all of the kinks, Galarza said the demolition should take two days at most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than swing the 6,000-pound wrecking ball with the crane’s 305-foot arm, the operator dropped it on the bridge from about 5-feet high once work got started at about 12:30 p.m. Monday. By dropping the ball instead of swinging it, crews avoided nearby power lines. Jim Shivers, a Caltrans spokesman, said it’s also part of the strategy to bring the structure down in a controlled, methodical way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s precision when we build these things and there’s precision when we take them down,” he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Monday): \u003c/strong>Caltrans went to work Monday tearing down a Big Sur bridge that began to collapse last month after a long siege of heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews positioned a heavy crane near the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge on Monday morning, and just after noon began the mind-numbingly repetitive process of picking up and dropping a wrecking ball on the span to break it up. It looked like it would take awhile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/WrightScribe/status/841386057862070272\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The loss of the bridge, closed Feb. 15 as mudslides threatened its supports and the roadway began to buckle, makes it virtually certain that Highway 1 will remained closed to through travel until sometime in 2018. The internationally known highway is the main route for the estimated 3 million tourists who visit the area each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pfeiffer Canyon span itself is anything but an architectural marvel. It's a short, plain vanilla highway bridge that most travelers probably never noticed as they cruised between Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, just north of the bridge, and classic tourist spots like the Nepenthe restaurant, south of the span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what the bridge lacks in \"\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/bYsztoaU9Ls?t=1m1s\" target=\"_blank\">Then Came Bronson\u003c/a>\" panache, it makes up for in strategic location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lisa Krieger of the San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">noted in a report\u003c/a> this past Friday, the span's closure last month effectively split the remote Big Sur community in two -- at the same time that a series of major slides had shut down Highway 1 both to the north and south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re severed in half … with two of the most amazing cul-de-sacs in the world,” Kirk Gafill, manager of Nepenthe, told Krieger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, volunteers worked with Monterey County officials to organize an airlift of food, water and other supplies to several hundred people stranded south of the crippled bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans has now managed to partially reopen Highway 1 south of the bridge, allowing shipments of fuel and other necessities to be trucked into the affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway agency is estimating that crews will finish clearing a major slide between Carmel and Big Sur by midweek. It says three big slides to the south -- at Lucia, Gorda and Ragged Point -- will take another week to clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the only means of travel for those who want to get from the north side of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge to the south side is likely to be on foot -- by means of a steep, half-mile trail built in recent days by the California Conservation Corps, state parks workers and local volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the remote community, normally overrun by out-of-towners who \u003ca href=\"https://bigsurkate.wordpress.com/2017/03/04/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">even now are besieging locals\u003c/a> with questions about whether their summer vacations will be ruined, aren't all welcome. From \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Krieger's report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Mother Nature has emerged, evoking a time when the region was an unexplored and unmapped wilderness. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am hearing the creek running down the canyon below us for the first time in my life.There are no cars, no people,” said Erin Gafill, a landscape artist. “Waking up this morning, I heard five distinct bird calls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors stroll down the center of Highway 1, exchanging greetings. “It’s like having Main Street right here,” said Big Sur Fire Brigade medical captain Jeannie Alexander. “We’re taking the time to breathe and just be with Big Sur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is anxiety over the future. The foot path will only help the able-bodied, during daylight hours. And it may not be enough to support all the employees needed to staff the famed retreats.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

The Monterey Herald's Tommy Wright \u003ca href=\"http://www.montereyherald.com/general-news/20170313/wrecking-ball-problems-cause-pfeiffer-canyon-bridge-demolition-delay\" target=\"_blank\">has the details\u003c/a> on what didn't happen and why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The contractors tasked with the demolition had trouble getting the crane’s free-fall function operating properly as they tried to slam the wrecking ball into the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crane, in its current configuration, will not free fall the wrecking ball with the required force needed,” said Susana Cruz, a Caltrans spokeswoman, in an email. “New parts have been ordered and should arrive (Tuesday).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Work could resume on the demolition as soon as Wednesday morning, depending on the delivery and assembly of the new parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Galarza, Caltrans’ structure representative for the project, said crews disconnected the bridge’s metal railing in preparation for the demolition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything’s in place for it to go, but some of these new cranes have a lot of different safety features on them and they’re all computerized,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galarza said the crew has specific locations identified where they can expose the primary reinforcement and cut it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That should assist with the bridge dropping in a location we want it to,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as crews work out all of the kinks, Galarza said the demolition should take two days at most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than swing the 6,000-pound wrecking ball with the crane’s 305-foot arm, the operator dropped it on the bridge from about 5-feet high once work got started at about 12:30 p.m. Monday. By dropping the ball instead of swinging it, crews avoided nearby power lines. Jim Shivers, a Caltrans spokesman, said it’s also part of the strategy to bring the structure down in a controlled, methodical way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s precision when we build these things and there’s precision when we take them down,” he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Monday): \u003c/strong>Caltrans went to work Monday tearing down a Big Sur bridge that began to collapse last month after a long siege of heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews positioned a heavy crane near the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge on Monday morning, and just after noon began the mind-numbingly repetitive process of picking up and dropping a wrecking ball on the span to break it up. It looked like it would take awhile.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The internationally known highway is the main route for the estimated 3 million tourists who visit the area each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pfeiffer Canyon span itself is anything but an architectural marvel. It's a short, plain vanilla highway bridge that most travelers probably never noticed as they cruised between Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, just north of the bridge, and classic tourist spots like the Nepenthe restaurant, south of the span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what the bridge lacks in \"\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/bYsztoaU9Ls?t=1m1s\" target=\"_blank\">Then Came Bronson\u003c/a>\" panache, it makes up for in strategic location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lisa Krieger of the San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">noted in a report\u003c/a> this past Friday, the span's closure last month effectively split the remote Big Sur community in two -- at the same time that a series of major slides had shut down Highway 1 both to the north and south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re severed in half … with two of the most amazing cul-de-sacs in the world,” Kirk Gafill, manager of Nepenthe, told Krieger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, volunteers worked with Monterey County officials to organize an airlift of food, water and other supplies to several hundred people stranded south of the crippled bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans has now managed to partially reopen Highway 1 south of the bridge, allowing shipments of fuel and other necessities to be trucked into the affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway agency is estimating that crews will finish clearing a major slide between Carmel and Big Sur by midweek. It says three big slides to the south -- at Lucia, Gorda and Ragged Point -- will take another week to clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the only means of travel for those who want to get from the north side of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge to the south side is likely to be on foot -- by means of a steep, half-mile trail built in recent days by the California Conservation Corps, state parks workers and local volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the remote community, normally overrun by out-of-towners who \u003ca href=\"https://bigsurkate.wordpress.com/2017/03/04/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">even now are besieging locals\u003c/a> with questions about whether their summer vacations will be ruined, aren't all welcome. From \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/battered-by-winter-storms-big-sur-is-cut-off-from-california/\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Krieger's report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>...

Those measures included monitoring users who frequently opened and closed the Uber app near government buildings, examining users' credit card information and social media profiles, and even trying to identify cellphones that officials had bought in large quantities as part of sting operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once suspected regulators were identified, the Times said, the Greyball software would respond to their ride requests by serving up a fake version of the Uber app that would show that no cars were available or display a fleet of ghost cars that would never arrive. In the event a ride request was answered by a real Uber driver, the company would intervene to cancel the trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said in a statement in response to last week's Times story that greyballing had been used to protect drivers against physical harm, to foil competitors seeking to disrupt its operations, and against \"opponents who collude with officials on secret ‘stings’ meant to entrap drivers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's statement Wednesday, issued by Chief Security Officer Joe Sullivan, expanded on that explanation but did not explicitly acknowledge that it was Uber's policy to use the technique against regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have started a review of the different ways this technology has been used to date,\" Sullivan wrote. \"In addition, we are expressly prohibiting its use to target action by local regulators going forward. Given the way our systems are configured, it will take some time to ensure this prohibition is fully enforced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Times reported that Uber has targeted regulators in Boston, Paris and Las Vegas, among other cities, as well as a litany of countries that include Australia, China, Italy and South Korea. Officials in two jurisdictions -- Portland, Oregon, and the Netherlands -- have called for an investigation of Uber's greyballing program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Has Uber's use of greyball to beat regulators been legal?

Greyball could be considered a violation of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or possibly intentional obstruction of justice, depending on local laws and jurisdictions, said Peter Henning, a law professor at Wayne State University who also writes for The New York Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With any type of systematic thwarting of the law, you’re flirting with disaster,” Professor Henning said. “We all take our foot off the gas when we see the police car at the intersection up ahead, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Those measures included monitoring users who frequently opened and closed the Uber app near government buildings, examining users' credit card information and social media profiles, and even trying to identify cellphones that officials had bought in large quantities as part of sting operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once suspected regulators were identified, the Times said, the Greyball software would respond to their ride requests by serving up a fake version of the Uber app that would show that no cars were available or display a fleet of ghost cars that would never arrive. In the event a ride request was answered by a real Uber driver, the company would intervene to cancel the trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
